But that's kind of icky. With socket_select() this is exactly the way it works. You create and connect multiple sockets to endpoints, put them all in the socket_select() call and wait if you got a READ/WRITE/ERROR from a socket. I don't see a way to avoid this, do you (would be nice) ? - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
